Sorry, but there are bad LGBT+ people too and aroace Voldemort shouldn’t be offensive. Also, making only evil characters cishet is both saying all cishets are bad and all LGBT+ are good by default and without a doubt. Voldemort is unable to love romantically, so he is aromantic. No one is saying that he should be the aro mascot. However, there are bad people in LGBT+ communities and they are still LGBT+. I myself am aro, and I say Voldemort, no matter how horrid he is, is by definition aro.

accio-shitpost:

i’m not saying that bad people can’t be lgbt or whatever what i’m saying is that it’s actually pretty aphobic to interpret the line “Voldermort was unable to love” as “Voldemort did not experience sexual and/or romantic attraction”.

the point rowling was trying to make is that voldemort cared for none but himself. he was selfish and evil. he did not love anybody but himself. whether he was or wasn’t ace/aro is obviously up for interpretation but us just accepting that voldemort was a heartless, evil man who couldn’t love therefore he’s ace/aro is… pretty fucking disgusting of us?? and it would be pretty disgusting of rowling if that was her intention (which it obviously wasn’t)

if you want to headcanon voldemort as aromantic or whatever go ahead. i can’t stop you, but you’re playing into a stereotype of aromantic people being cold, heartless monsters who care for nobody but themselves by perpetuating that stereotype.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS
